In an interview with American Songwriter, vocalist and mandolinist, Chris Thile, from former group Nickelcreek, explains how the song was brought about by a famous baseball pitcher, Greg Maddux of the Chicago Cubs and his obsession with perfecting movement and location in his pitching technique. This idea of movement and location, Thile explained, related to relationships and living which was the core inspiration while creating this song on their album.
This group has the vocal essence similar to that of Coldplay, Mumford and Sons, and Radiohead, but is uniquely fused with the energetic and instrumental dexterity inspired by Bluegrass.
The Punch Brothers might just be my new favorite group. Take a listen and let me know what you think!
